I created my first beauty serum scroll-driven website using the envato video gen tool and codex!
My first decision was to just choose one product in one industry. AI can't choose for you since everything is dictated on your taste and choices.
It was difficult at first because my first decision was to go in the sports industry. I got really inspired by a volleyball movie poster, but once I tried to animate it, the quality started to fall apart.
Thus came my first human decision that AI couldn't make. I had to pivot, but also keep in mind of the limitations of AI while understanding it's strengths.
Then came the serum brand. I tried out different prompts and even extended the ones that I really liked and I had to choose and curate the best ones.
Then eventually, it came out exactly how I wanted it to.
This makes me want to try creating even better scroll-driven website experiences that are cinematic.
I have never coded in my life nor have I learned any animation or graphic design.
However, I learned a little bit of UX and a lot of prompt engineering, which gave me this opportunity to build something like this.

The product is almost ready…
but the real story lives in the process.
Almost done building the product side for my entry in this @Envato challenge. Now comes the part that matters most... documenting the human side of creating it.
Can’t wait to share the full journey with all of you.
For my #EnvatoChallenge submission, I made a logo reveal video and decided to show the actual process instead of just the final result.
I started by generating a few versions with AI: fast, polished, technically correct. But none of them felt like mine. They were missing something I couldn't quite prompt for.
So I went back into Envato itself, this time not looking for a finished output, but for references sample footage, assets, textures things to build from rather than things to copy. From there, I put together something fully handmade, frame by frame, even though it doesn't look that way.
I think the real "human by design" decision wasn't the final edit. It was choosing to stop generating and start building recognizing when the AI output was technically fine but creatively empty, and doing the slower thing instead.

Here is submission for the Envato × Contra Human by Design challenge.
I set out to answer a simple question: What happens when AI becomes part of an animator's creative process instead of replacing it?
I started out with Envato 3D assets, I used Envato's AI tools to explore ideas, generate concepts, test transitions, and build each scene one decision at a time. Every shot was refined through countless iterations until the visuals, sound, and pacing came together as a single story.
For me, this project isn't about what AI created.
It's about the creative choices that turned those generations into something meaningful.
Created using Envato's Gen AI and Stock Assets Library, Edited and composited using PremierPro and Directed by My creativity.
This is one of my best Submission because the human impact to the final result is Undeniable. When I watched the results I felt it was one video, but having to go through the video that explained the process of how you brought it all together is amazing. BRAVO!
